Trick of n Lizard.

"There are some curious cases among
the California gerkos,' said Los An
geles county naturalist. 4'Hear is one
dead that is called the leaf tailed gecko.
You see the tail bulges out soon after
leaving the body and assumes leaf OF
arrow shape, hence the name of the ami.
NAL. Now when the little creature is
chased you will see it dodge around a
limb and hold up the curious leaf like
tail. That is all that you can see, and so
naturally would think it part of the
tree itself.
.'But this lizard has moro remarkable
f. method of escape yet. We will imagine
that you have tried to pluck the leaf.
The animal drops clumsily to the ground
and darts away among the rocks, where
it attracts the attention Of some of the
hawks that arc prowling around. I'M
mediately q chase ensues; the bird gains
and is finally about to pounce upon its
prey, when all at once two lizards APP
pear, one making off while the other
dances up and down into the air and
along the ground in very mysterious
way, so that the astonisbed bird stops and
looks. In the meantime the original
lizard escapes; the other. that really is
the tail, soon becomes quiescent. You
see the gecl,o has the faculty of throwing
off his tail when hard pressed, and while
the pursuer's attention is drawn to the
squirming member the animal itself es-
capes." but it loses its tail,'' sug-
gested the reporter. ''Only for time.
They can reproduce this organ, and, curl
ously enough, sometimes two tails are
produced instead of one. San Ffanci-co

The dying man, who was so poor at
this moment that he could not purchase
one hour Of time, was rich in the worldly
possessions he was about to leave forever.
He had houses and lands and bank
stock. He had rich viands to tempt his
failing appetite. 1t was hisa pleasure to
drink of many different wines at his grand
dinners. Yet his restless spirit craved one

The greatest danger to be feared in the
presence of shark is the paralysis of
fear. Sharks unless very hungry will not
attack 81 man while in motion. They
swim around with longing eyes waiting
for one moment when their victims shall
remain quiet, and then make their on
slaught. On the coast of Africa tbe ma
tives fight sharks fearlessly. They enter
the ocean naked, having first oiled their
bodies in order that they may slide
through the water easily. Their only
weapon is stout stick about two feet in
length sharpened at both ends. The
water is SO clear that they can sec for
hundreds of feet around them. When a
shark swims toward them they wait un-
ill tho moment he turns on his back, and
as Inc opens his jaws to seize them they
thrust the stick crosswise into his mouth
and swim off. The sharks mouth being
held open by the stick, he is soon drowned,
when the natives tow him ashore and
feast upon Ills flesh. = New York Mail and

There are upon the skin of every
human being, child and adult alike,
100000 pores. Through these
pores in the form of insensible per

quarter of the nourishment taken into

that of promptly digesting the food

the skin and to assimilate the food
